The Fatimids were Muslims, so the question is a little confusing. If the question is trying to ask why the Fatimids attacked neighboring Aghlabids, Ikhshidids, and Abbassids (which were all Islamic Caliphates), the reason is simply that the Fatimid Caliphate was an ascendant power and saw fit to conquer all neighboring territories. The fact that they were already under Islamic control did not change anything.

What type of Muslims are fatimids?
I'm not sure I know how to classify Muslims into "types." I don't think Fatimids exist anymore. They were a powerful dynasty who ruled Egypt and surrounds from the 900s to the 1100s. They were the decendents of Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad. They were very tollerant of other religions. Hope this helps.

Why did Bosnia have a genocide happen?
Christians and Muslims had political disagreements. Christians tried to break away and form a separate country out of part of the country. Muslims attacked Christians and the Christians attacked back fiercely and many muslims were killed. Then NATO bombed the refugee areas and bombed a very large amount of muslims. Most of the deaths were from the bombings, yet NATO claimed they were on the side of the muslims even though they bombed them.
